After closing “la Mythik” unfortunately I could only see that there is not gonna be any movement around KOF… So I’ve decided to try to promote my favourite game by doing something….

As far as I know there are not many players left in France…. And there are not much left in UK… So it is the same in Germany, in Spain… Unfortunately, there is nothing in all Europe that can gather the last players. That is why I had the idea to make a website that would be for all Europe.

The site will be in French and English (and I hope soon, other languages). In fact there is couple of new things I’d like to add… First of all, the tutorials will be an important thing. Try to explain the new games with some vids, with tons of explanations, demonstrations, to help new players, and give them some tools in order to keep them in the good side.

With my experience, I have some material (couples xboxes, 0-lag Tvs, tons of sticks….) and I know the guy running the arcade in Paris, so I’ll try to make some events around KOF, and I hope to see some of you 😉

I have some informations I can’t tell…. well, let’s just say the console version will bring some surprises and a very good netcode. In any case, there are only two options. Kof XIII will be a success, and everything will be good, or it will be a complete disaster and we’ll have to stay on older episodes for a while…

In both case, I am not unhappy, cause there are tons of things to do, but I prefer the first case of course. On my side, I’ll do everything I can to promote and support the game!

Yes, I sold my XIII, keeping it for myself was too risky, I prefered to sell it now, as it is still expensive.

Regrets? No! We have the luck of having the game in 2 arcades here, and with my wife I don’t have so much time to play on my side, so, going in the arcade once or twice a week is way enough 😉

Well, in the beginning, I wanted to open another arcade, but now, there are 2 arcades of really good quality in Paris. Versus Dojo is small, but they have all the games, and Arcade Street, with tons of HD cabs is just insane… As long as I am not sure to do something better, I prefer not to do anything.

If you mean the WGC ones, well, let’s be honest, it was bullshit… Doing a 2on2 tournament (in the beggining, it was planned to be 3on3!!!) on a game that no one plays a lot was pure suicide. Of course, there were only 1 guy who plays the game, and Ho! Surprise! he won!…. It will definitely not make more people play KOF (on contrary…). When a game is not available everywhere, there is no need to have a tournament… You must do 2 things:

-an exhibition with some of the best players (even if they are only 4 or 5)

-a beginner’s tournament (as Orochinagi made @UCX)

All the things inbetween are not interesting for anyone.

Of course, this is not against the guy from Versus Dojo, they’ve tried their best, no doubt about that.

Ps. If you visit Maxmode now, you can see an interview with Fox (or at least have a look at him, as it’s in French).
